Bianchi Celeste Wheels?
Looking to upgrade my Bianchi. Anyone have suggestions for some nice matching wheels? Celeste?

i think celeste tires are as close as you'll get. I think puter / gun metal gray looks really good with celeste, so I'd look in to some puter rims.

They are super hard to find now, i think it was michilen who used to make them, but who ever it was stopped so usually the celeste tires I find are NOS or 'slightly used' on ebay.

Celeste tires would be cool too... yeah. So I guess I'm back to square one.
Looks first, performance later.

Apparently out of production, but this place has had them on closeout for months now, must have bought up the remaining stock.
I don't know of any celeste wheels (and I probably would have found them during my celeste phase with my Bianchi Veloce). I got black to match the stem, bars, post, and cranks I had on mine. I suppose you could get deep rims, get some BIANCHI stickers, cut each letter seperately and put them around the rim. Just a thought.

Bikes: I built the Bianchi track bike back up today.
If your LBS deals Bianchi, they should be able to get them, I forget the brand, but they exist.
My faves right now are a set of NOS Grand Prix 3000s that actually match my 80's frame a lot better than the Vittorias did... Good luck finding those...
